Another high speed in flight shot of a garden bird.
I have been experimenting with the background on this one to achieve a dark background, but not a black background, that is typical of high speed flash images.
The bird looks nice but the BG isn't working for me. What is it? Looks like a camo net or some such. Anyway, one way to get a BG something other than black is to hit it with it's own light source. You can control how much so you get as dark or light as you want.
There is a little smudge down on the edge of the tail. Not sure if it is from processing or what. The frozen wing looks really cool though.

I'm a big fan of dark BG's but this one just doesn't work as too much of the bird gets lost in the BG.......ie. top of the head. I like how you have captured the bird in flight.....good job.
